Asset-Based Lending (ABL) · Toys, Games & Juvenile Products

Asset-Based Lending (ABL) for Toys, Games & Juvenile Products shops

Borrow against what you already own. We match toys, games & juvenile products manufacturers with the asset-based lending (abl) structure that fits how you actually run — no equity given up, no application, origination, or closing fees to you.

Why toys, games & juvenile products shops choose asset-based lending (abl)

You're placing tooling orders in February for a toy that has to be on a Target or Walmart shelf by September, testing it to CPSIA and ASTM F963 standards along the way, and hoping the buyer's forecast holds. By the time the PO turns into cash, half the year is gone and the next year's line is already in development.

Then the retailer takes their cut on the back end — chargebacks for late ship windows, damaged freight, markdown allowances, co-op advertising fees — and what hits your bank account is meaningfully less than the invoice said. Meanwhile your factory in Vietnam, Mexico, or right here in the US wants deposits before they'll cut a single mold.

Asset-Based Lending (ABL) is one of the most direct ways to close that gap. Revolving lines secured by receivables, inventory, and equipment.

What toys, games & juvenile products shops get

  • Line scales with your business
  • Often more flexible than traditional bank debt
  • Rates typically lower than factoring for the right profile

How it works

  1. 1The lender evaluates the value of your eligible collateral (AR, inventory, equipment).
  2. 2A borrowing base formula determines your available line.
  3. 3You draw and repay as needed, with monthly reporting.

Cash-flow realities we see in toys, games & juvenile products

  • Extreme seasonality with 60–80% of annual revenue shipping in a three- to four-month Q4 window
  • CPSIA, ASTM F963, and CPSC third-party lab testing costs due before a single unit sells
  • Big-box and mass retailer chargebacks for late shipping windows, packaging non-compliance, and markdown allowances
  • Tooling and mold deposits owed to overseas or domestic factories 6–9 months before sell-through
  • Retailer terms of net-60 to net-90 that land well after the holiday selling season closes
